Blessed is the moment
When is light turned down low
Focus of the turning
Upon horizons glow
When the air is empty
Of no noise to complain
All the world is quiet
A gift of silence reins
When the mind surrenders
Soul becomes aware
Spirit of your Presence
Time of being here
When all creation stills
May all here be awoken
Reborn into our Lord
And peace be the word spoken
I looked for peace in the sunset
Surrounded in colors this day
I felt it just for a moment
And then it faded away
I listened for peace in the silence
Quiet in this moment still
It settled in for a few minutes
Until the noise started to fill
I sought out peace in the mountains
Ascending into clear air
I dwelt in solitudes’ freedom
Gradually it disappeared
But peace isn’t found in the absence
By letting everything go
External peace found is a person
Our Jesus for us here to know
What is this feeling
That’s calling to me?
Beneath all my worry
To live peacefully
A knowledge of offer
In God’s written Word
Of “peace be with you”
Here, let it be heard
Be not afraid
Our Lord’s Word is spoken
A gift that He purchased
Through His body broken
One of this moment
In prayer Him and me
A divine connection
To eternity
Take me to the sunrise
One of golden rays
Light of overflowing
Setting soul ablaze
Take me to the silence
May peace fill my heart
Stilling of the inner
A prayer to impart
Take me to your being
A binding intimate
Light and peace of knowing
One so infinite
Take me to horizon
Way that you prepare
With gift of light and peace
Of You, let me share
Lady of solitude
Fragrance of peace
Pray with me now
All fear to release
When worries arise
Just let it be
A whisper of wisdom
That you are free
A garden of beauty
Surrounding in prayer
The Spirit arising
Of offering here
Guiding the way
Grace of bestowing
Encounter within
Lord of the knowing
A step into dawning
A still masterpiece
Encounter before me
A morningful of peace
Where spirit is drawing
An easy release
Being of prayer
Encompassed in peace
Silent the moving
Awareness increase
Infused in defusing
A dwelling of peace
Grace of bestowing
Of me here decrease
A sharing becoming
A carrier of peace
A resting in silence
Of solitude be
A healing of sorts
Of souls therapy
Into creation
Let breeze speak to me
A nature of calling
Of presence, the key
A slowing down
Into this moment here
Of whispers attention
Where God can speak clear
A cleansing of heart
Of simple beauty
The center is found
Of just you and me
